About Ann Chappell

Originally from Louisiana now Living in England, I spent my summers on Crescent Beach, Siesta Key. Anna Maria reminds me of Siesta Key when there were only private homes on Crescent Beach before any high rise buildings.

Ann Chappell purchased this house in 2008
Why Ann Chappell chose Anna Maria

The Gulf Coast's white sand beaches are highly-regarded and known worldwide for their beauty. Anna Maria is unique because it is not built-up like many other areas of Florida. It is old Florida, not some new area trying to be old Florida! It is relaxed and friendly. We chose the house because it is on the canal allowing access to various water activities and yet is 200 yards to the beach.

What makes this house unique

If you want a relaxing vacation, You can choose to never leave the house and have a wonderful time swimming, fishing and enjoying the view. You can walk to most restaurants in the area or take the free trolley.

If you want an active vacation, you can jet ski, water ski, sail, parasail, kayak, deep sea fish, bike, golf, swim, horseback ride, tennis, shuffleboard, paddle surf all within 5 miles of the house. You can go further a field for theatre (Sarasota)or theme parks (Busch Gardens in Tampa).

If you have to work while on vacation, the house is fully equipped with a computer, fax/scanner/printer, and high speed wireless broadband. The post office is within walking distance if you need to send items. Free phone service is provided and includes low cost international service as well.

This house is beautiful both inside and out. It is perfectly situated on a canal with a small dock for your boat, very short walking distance to the beach, pier and shops.

You will not be disappointed with this property. We enjoyed our experience every step of the way.

Owner's Response: We are glad the dock allowed you to bring your boat. Thanks for the photo of the seahorse you found under the dock. We will post it on the website for others to see. We see lots of birds, fish and manatees but have never seen a seahorse from the dock.

I am so glad I found this property. It was the perfect size for my parents, sisters, daughter and myself. The house is gorgeous! The online photos do not do it justice. Well- equipped, perfectly laid out, clean-ALL the comforts of home. The heated pool was a hit for all of us, but the best part of all was the very short distance to the beach. It beckoned us every day and didn't disappoint! Also it is a short walking distance to Pine Avenue, which has lots of little shops and places to eat. Erin, the property manager, was ever so helpful and always willing to help us out, if needed. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a restful place to stay on the Gulf Coast in Florida.
Owner's Response: We are so happy to know your stay was enjoyable. You had a full trip planned in Florida and we are pleased our home proved a suitable accomodation for your family.

We, too, enjoy being so close to the beach that we can to pop out for a short stroll several times a day.

Erin completes the package for us and I know others considering the house will be pleased to see how tremendously helpful she is.

We look forward to having you and your family stay with us when you are next In the area.

Family getaway

  • Stayed: Feb 2013
Excellent 5 star quality! This home was an excellent choice for our group because we needed a home with no stairs to accommodate our parents. What we found was a home of high quality finishes, welcoming decor, open concept and very comfortable beds. The home was very clean and well taken care of. The furnishings were very good quality and very up to date. The pool setting was quite private and yet you could still see the canal out back. The owner was very quick to respond to our request to rent and every other question that I emailed to her. I would love to work with her again. She was very customer oriented and wanted our stay to be comfortable and pleasant. When we arrived there was a little welcome basket including snacks, wine and all the information you could want about Anna Maria Island. Instructions regarding running of the home were very complete. There is a property manager locally to contact if there were any problems or questions. We tripped a breaker once and couldn't find the breaker box so I called the manager. She returned my call immediately and problem was solved. We only stayed for 3 nights/4 days but all 8 of us wished we could have stayed longer. The other guests continually thanked me for finding such great comfortable accommodations and were glad we didn't all end up in separate hotel rooms. We were in Florida to attend a family wedding but did spend two days enjoying the pool, walking the beach, browsing the shops on Pine Street and having breakfast at the Rod & Reel. I would whole heartedly recommend this property and would love to return!
Owner's Response: What wonderful comments and so glad the stay for the wedding was what you had hoped. Your comments will help others to appreciate Anna Maria, a little jewel. We of course are looking forward to hosting you again soon.
We think Erin is a little jewel. She knows what it takes to keep guests happy especially when catering to multigenerational visitors.

We absolutely loved our stay at C-View. It was everything we had hoped! The home was immaculate & fully stocked with every dish, utensil, cook ware & serving ware we could have hoped to have on hand. We had the perfect amount of space for everyone. The pool was great. The kids lived in in all week. It was an easy walk to the beach - maybe 5 minutes. It was a private setting with a great canal. Hope to return soon!

Owner's Response: Thanks for choosing C-view Florida for your Thanksgiving vacation and we really appreciate the glowing comments. We, too, love the position on the canal with the beach so near. The large pool is usually a hit with the kids and I hope you enjoyed it as well. It sounds as though you will have lots of good memories of Anna Maria. Your family were super guests and we look forward to having you stay with us again soon.

We stayed at the house to attend our sons wedding on the island. All our kids were with us as well as thier spouses and two grandbabies. The house was just right in size and layout. A well stocked kitchen made meals a snap. The pool was nice and a block from the beach, who could ask for more? I would come back in a heartbeat. It would make a great place for my family to gather on a yearly basis.

Owner's Response: We appreciate your prompt review. I am glad C-view Florida provided all you needed while attending your son's wedding. Weddings can be a bit disconcerting for 'the groom's side.' Do return soon when hopefully you will have more time to explore Anna Maria.

We really loved our stay. It was perfect for for family and friends attending Mom's 90th birthday party . The large 'Great Room' and large, sturdy table with all of the extra chairs were two of the things that attracted us to C-View in the first place. Everything was as advertised. We would definitely come again.
Owner's Response: We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to hosting you and your family.

Excellent Stay

  • Submitted: Jul 2, 2012
  • Stayed: Jun 2012
Our family stayed at C-View recently and had a wonderful stay. We had 3 generations staying, including 2 children and found there was plenty of room for everyone. We appreciated the welcome basket with snacks and some cold drinks in the fridge. The house was tastefully decorated and the kitchen had everything we needed and more (not your typical rental house stocked with mismatched dishes, glasses, etc. - this was nice stuff!).

The beds were comfortable, with nice pillows and mattresses in every room. We enjoyed the swimming pool in the afternoons and evenings. The pier out back was nice for fishing and we did take the canoe out one morning for a trip through the canals.

The location of the house was about 2 blocks or so from the beach access, which was an easy walk for our group. The house was also within walking distance to the Rod and Reel pier (about 5 minutes) or the City Pier and Pine Street shopping area (about 10 minutes). We enjoy staying in this area of Anna Maria Island.

Overall, this place is great! The owner was very responsive to e-mails leading up to our stay and provided a contact number during the stay in the event that any issues came up. We hope to stay here again in the future. Thanks.

Perfect for family of 5 with teenagers

This is our fourth time to Anna Maria and we have found our perfect vacation home! C-View is beautiful, well-stocked and the location is perfect for anything you want to do on the island. We were stunned at how beautiful the home was when we arrived. We were thankful for the welcome basket of food and drinks in the refrigerator. It was such a treat. We didn't know what to do first as the canal looked inviting for fishing and the beaches and piers were so close. Per your suggestion,we had called Beach Bums ahead of time and our kayaks and bikes were there at the house waiting for us when we arrived. Within 20 minutes of our arrival, three of us were on the beach and my two teenage sons were fishing at the Rod and Reel. We biked or walked to dinner and the beaches every day. I think we drove our car only twice the entire week which was when we chartered a fishing trip and went to Skinny's burger place for dinner. Our three children loved the freedom that your home allowed them. They were able to ride bikes everywhere- mostly to the rod and reel pier to fish three or four times a day and the beach to swim. The pool was perfect for the end of every day to relax. Our FAVORITE feature is the outside shower. We loved it. Everything in the home is top notch from the bed linens, towels, TV's,furniture and pool. Since it is March Madness season, we were so happy you had nice big flat screen tvs for us to watch the games. I couldn't believe you had one in every room. We have already reserved the home for next spring break and can't wait to return next spring.

Owner's Response: We appreciate the thoughtful review. Your comments will be very beneficial to others who are considering staying with us and want to know about the area and not just the house. We are so glad you will be staying with us again and are so pleased they you enjoy coming back to Anna Maria. There is so much to do on this laid back Island which will keep vacationers of all ages happy. We have purchased three non-stick skillets so your husband will have fun making omelets of all sizes! We do like to have duplicates of most things in the kitchen so dads and kids can help moms in the kitchen. When staying in a vacation home, moms need to be able to enjoy the vacation, too. Also, Erin has made sure there are plenty of chairs for the beach and will have spares at the house if they need to be replaced. Thanks for those suggestions. We are always looking for ways to improve. Have a great year and we will see you next March!

Paradise

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Mar 13, 2012
  • Stayed: Mar 2012
Anna Maria is a little gem nestling on the Gulf Coast, I would like to keep this a secret but feel compelled to tell you about paradise found. C-View is a gorgeous property on the North end of the Island within walking distance to both the City and Rod&Reel piers on the Bay side and the fantastic less crowded beaches on the Gulf side. Also a 10 minute walk to catch the free trolley bus to explore the island, so good your car could stay on the drive all week.
The home itself is offers wonderful accommodation both inside and out. All furniture and fixtures are of the highest quality with great added extras such as the iPod docking stations connected to the home cinema system. I must mention the fridge/freezer the best I have ever seen in the 15 years we have been visiting Florida.
The outside area is again furnished to the highest quality encompassed by the wonderful canal view where fishing is a must. Just to let you know one family member caught between 30-40 fish during our weeks stay. We also had the amazing experience of having a manatee swimming to within 30 yards of the dock.
On arrival the welcome basket was greatly recieved after our 9 hour flight.
Our thanks go out to Erin for this and the help and advice where needed, perfect manager, not intrusive but there when needed.
Also I could not finish up without mentioning Ann the owner, a joy to deal with, so prompt with responses, a big reason why we will return.
The best thing I can say about this home, do you do it in flatpack to transport back to the UK, oh and the weather too!
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Tourists without a Car, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, People with Disabilities, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: First I have to thank you for leaving the house so tidy. Erin wrote to tell me it was the cleanest it has ever been. I have included a token of our appreciation with your deposit refund.
Your photo of your dad on the dock is priceless. Perhaps he can share his successful fishing tips with us.
Keeping several generations amused while on vacation can be difficult and we enjoy Anna Maria because it offers a variety of activities for all ages.
We look forward to having you stay with us again and thank you for your generous review.
